I'm running elm 2.3 PL 5, and I've been happy so far.  I wonder if upgrading
to a later PL will give me any of this:

- filter doesn't like a mailbox that isn't /some/where/<user>.  In my case
  the mailbox name is dictated by AIX to ~<user>/.newmail and elm itself
  handles this with the MAIL environment.

- I want filter to change a message (e.g. by piping it through a program),
  and then sending it to my mailbox, i.e. a combination of 'execute' action
  and 'leave' action.

Thanks for your thoughts,
